HD amp modeling: Sound and feel like never before
Creating these HD amp models was no small feat. 15 years of amp modeling experience coupled with 3 years of Line 6 research and development delivered an entirely new amp modeling technology from that was built from the ground up. During that time, a collection of incredible amplifiers were selected and – with the help of some of the country’s top tube amp experts – restored back to peak condition and performance.

HD amp modeling technology within the POD HD500 delivers the nuances of analog tube amp design like never before. It includes singled-ended and push/pull outputs, Class A and Class AB interactions, a variety of phase inverter topologies, parallel preamp paths, and much more. The result is unprecedented, warmth, feel, sustain and articulation for you to fall in love with.

Tube amp fanatics have long enthused that their favorite stacks and combos aren’t merely amps but instruments themselves, with playability equal to that of the guitar plugged into them. HD modeling lifts the Line 6 POD HD500 pedalboard processor experience to that same exalted level, capturing the genuine playability that great guitarists demand.

The world's best amp tones – now in your collection
Line 6 POD HD500 offers a collection of freshly modeled amps, many of which are brand-new to POD, and all of which are essential for performing guitarists who require a wide variety of tones in one package.

100+ M-class FXDescended from the celebrated Line 6 DL4 green box and made famous by Line 6 M13 and M9 Stompbox Modelers, M-class effects are the new stage-standards. POD HD500 features a whopping 100+ M-class effects for you to craft your sound. With this wide tonal palette to play with, you can sound like anyone under the sun, or no one but you. Use up to 8 effects at once in any order.

The power of this collection is truly mind-boggling. In addition to these classic sounds themselves, the Line 6 POD HD500 includes a full-featured looper with 48-seconds of looping time. Ready to start creating? The POD HD500 could keep you going for a lifetime.

Unprecedented flexibility - stunning simplicity
Beyond the mere depth of the amp and effect models, the Line 6 POD HD500 offers supreme flexibility to mix and match amps and pedals in multiple pre-set rigs, attainable at the stomp of a switch.

Scale from an instantly routable signal chain up to the flexibility of a MIDI switching system and beyond, (even compiling several rigs within the POD HD500’s memory, storing a full rig per ‘slot’ with total flexibility and direct access).

Create parallel paths for parallel processing or creating two unique signal paths (each complete with its own amp and effect models) that can deliver the richest, sonically complex tones.

Where other multi-effects seem to require a degree in nuclear physics to access this kind of deep programmability, the Line 6 POD HD500 makes it easy. Your entire signal chain is displayed in the LCD screen for easy access to every parameter – no deep-diving necessary. Simply select a model and drop it into the signal chain anywhere you choose.

Comprehensive connectivity for every professional rig
Put simply, POD HD500 connects to just about anything and everything. A snapshot of the back panel shows 1/4 inch and XLR outputs (mono/stereo), USB, MIDI in and out/thru, S/PDIF out, FX loop (mono/stereo), guitar and mic aux ins with mic level, Variax connection, expression pedal input and a L6 LINK jack for seamless integration with Line 6 DT-series tube amplifiers.

POD HD500 Edit, the free editor/librarian software
POD HD500 Edit is a powerful control panel for the Line 6 POD HD500. Its separate sections for FX, Amps, Mixer and Set Lists allow you to dig deep into every aspect of your tones, experiment with sounds and organize your extensive library of presets.

Built like a tank
The cutting-edge POD HD500 technology is kept safe within a bulletproof bent sheet-metal housing with heavy-duty metal footswitches and expression pedal. No injection-molded plastic boxes here – the Line 6 POD HD500 effects processor pedalboard is ready to lap up years of road and stage abuse and keep you playing.
